Awesome news Christopher !!

Nice one brother, superb stuff!

Congratulations!

Congrats Chris! You deserve it :)

WooHoo!! Congrats!

Very happy for you. Buzztouch gives you the tools, but you have provided the dedication and perseverance. Congrats...

Well done dude :)

Well done, Christopher! Awesome news! So many of us have so much benefit from Buzztouch. John

Chris, that totally rocks! Way to take a great framework, build on it, and help others learn as well. Well deserved, and good luck at Nationals! Mark

Very cool! Good luck for sure.

Thanks all, yep we all have benefited greatly from buzztouch. I actually compiled all of my code from all of my plugins into one huge app plus more code because I didnt know what to expect. We had to write the app without an app builder in 3 hours. I completed the app, the bonus parts, plus added additional bonus parts. With that being said I've super updated all of my plugins plus unreleased ones, and will release them soon on buzztouch and github, when I get time. The writers of the problem statement and judges of the app were software engineers from USAA. They actually called me saying they were so impressed that they want to offer me a full time job and set up an interview, and I never gave them my information. Thats awesome because as many of you know I was laid off from my entry level programming job. It sucks because Ive been trying for months to get a new programming job, all employers want 4 years plus experience and at least a bachelors. I barely got my associates last year, and this contest helped prove I had the experience. Even the USAA job description wants those, and they reached out to me. The contest opened so many doors. So also Ive joined the tech club at my community college I attend and at the university I attend. At the university we're making apps and websites for the business instructors and students. We're doing everything from scratch, but I'm slowly trying to get them to use buzztouch for the beginner programmers, to show how it helped me learn when I was a beginner. I would be cool to get the university and even the community college to use buzztouch. Using buzztouch organizes it so well, and would help speed the process along.

Congrats Chris, you deserve it and now onto winning the nationals too. Awesome to hear about the job interview and may this just be the start of a fantastic future for you.

Wow. That's so cool, I logged in after for first time in years just to say congratulations to you.

Awesome! LA

Congratulations! I love this story! Very happy for you. William
